Nevin Dravinski Provides An Inside Look At UFC Undisputed 2009

THQ set up shop in a $25,000-a-night Fantasy Suite at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas to debut their first offering in the five-year exclusive video game licensing deal with UFC. The new PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game, UFC Undisputed 2009, which ships in spring 2009, was shown to a packed house of video game, MMA and mainstream sports reporters. On hand for the festivities was UFC president Dana White, light heavyweight champion Quinton Rampage Jackson and his opponent in this weekend’s fight in Las Vegas, challenger Forrest Griffin.

“I’m not a big video game player,” said White. “I’m old school. I played games like Pac-Man. But we’re really excited about this game because everyone knows the first one really sucked. That was a deal that we were locked into when we bought the company. With THQ, we’re building the best fighting game ever created. We want our fans to enjoy this game and forget that the first one ever existed.” Read the rest of this entry »

With 16 different US or international teams, the game features customizable characters and exaggerated action straight out of an anime flick. Hit the jump to watch the debut trailer.

DC Universe Online Finally Finds Its Way To MySpace

Ever since word got out about Sony Online’s upcoming MMO DC Universe Online—which features all of the DC characters in their native environments—the ‘net has been buzzing with anticipation. Information about the game was painfully scarce, until the fanboy set discovered some ads in the last week’s DC comic releases that pointed them to the game’s secret Myspace.

And what did they find on the site? Well, besides some cool wallpapers and info about an exclusive party at Comic-Con, the page had the first available screenshots of the game. Jackpot, right? Right. Except for the fact that they’re crazy small, as you can see above. But, these should do until E3 or until the game debuts at the San Diego Comic-Con later this month. After the jump, check out a video of concept art from the game.

Getting to play a quick demo version of the game during GDC isn’t always the easiest way to tackle a deep experience such as Too Human, so I put the preview version through its paces in both single player and cooperatively to see how well Silicon Knights has progressed.
